+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<dh_strip> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-X>I<item>] [--dbg-package=package] [--keep-debug]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+dh_strip is a debhelper program that is responsible for stripping
+executables, shared libraries, and static libraries that are not used for
+debugging.
+
+This program examines your package build directories and works out what
+to strip on its own. It uses L<file(1)> and file permissions and filenames
+to figure out what files are shared libraries (*.so), executable binaries,
+and static (lib*.a) and debugging libraries (lib*_g.a, debug/*.so), and
+strips each as much as is possible. (Which is not at all for debugging
+libraries.) In general it seems to make very good guesses, and will do the
+right thing in almost all cases.
+
+Since it is very hard to automatically guess if a file is a
+module, and hard to determine how to strip a module, dh_strip does not
+currently deal with stripping binary modules such as .o files.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-X>I<item>, B<--exclude=>I<item>
+
+Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
+stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of
+things to exclude.
+
+=item B<--dbg-package=>I<package>
+
+Causes dh_strip to save debug symbols stripped from the packages it acts on
+as independent files in the package build directory of the specified debugging
+package.
+
+For example, if your packages are libfoo and foo and you want to include a
+foo-dbg package with debugging symbols, use dh_strip --dbg-package=foo-dbg.
+
+Note that this option behaves significantly different in debhelper
+compatibility levels 4 and below. Instead of specifying the name of a debug
+package to put symbols in, it specifies a package (or packages) which
+should have separated debug symbols, and the separated symbols are placed
+in packages with "-dbg" added to their name.
+
+=item B<-k>, B<--keep-debug>
+
+Debug symbols will be retained, but split into an independent
+file in usr/lib/debug/ in the package build directory. --dbg-package
+is easier to use than this option, but this option is more flexible.

+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+If the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable contains "nostrip", nothing
+will be stripped, in accordance with Debian policy (section 10.1
+"Binaries").
+

+Debian policy, version 3.0.1
